18K yellow gold and coral alliance

We present our coral wedding ring, a stylized, elegant and refined piece where the craftsmanship immerses us in a spiral of movement in which the natural Mediterranean coral accompanies us with its warmth and brightness, taking us on a journey through the different intensities of orange and pink that intensify or soften in gradient when the piece is rotated. With its characteristic longitudinal lines, the marquise-cut coral cabochons set in staples create, by their arrangement, a sinuous and slightly asymmetrical effect that breaks with the traditional creating a jewel of soft, harmonious and stylized lines with an original and different touch.

Organic gemstones are a small group of gemstones that are the product of some kind of biological process occurring in nature and involving animal or plant species. Among them we find pearls, amber, coral and jet among others. From Latin corallum which in turn comes from the Greek Korallion which means “pebble or small stone”, Corallium, means “daughter of the sea” and refers especially to Corallium Rubrus, the red variety, used in jewelry and to make amulets since ancient times. There are many different types of corals, but according to CIBJO (International Jewelry Confederation), precious corals, in particular the red, pink and white varieties which, after polishing, acquire a porcelain-like luster, are limited to the following genera Corallium, Pleurocorallium and Hemicorallium , all belonging to the Corallidae family. Most precious corals have been mined for years in Mediterranean waters and in Asia, especially in Japan and Taiwan.

Most of the coral jewelry we see today, those that belonged to mothers and grandmothers, were made in the 1960s/70s when Mediterranean coral became very popular. Due to overexploitation, however, the delicate ecosystem of marine corals has suffered great damage so measures have been taken to limit or prohibit their extraction and it is for this reason that buying second-hand coral jewelry not only has the charm of wearing pieces that have history but it is also the most responsible, respectful and conscious option to wear this beautiful gem that is associated with vitality.

The size of the ring is 16/56 and it weighs 5 grams.
